The mounted device is visible to (and useable by) the managed system’s operating
system and BIOS in both pre-boot and post-boot states.
The mounted device shows up in the BIOS boot order and it is possible to change the
BIOS boot order to boot from this remote device.
It is possible to install an operating system on a bare metal (no operating system present)
server using the remotely mounted device. This may also require the use of KVM-r to
configure the operating system during install.

server.
Media redirection sessions will persist across system reset but not across an AC power loss.

includes:
Power Control – Limited control based on IPMI user privilege.
Sensor Reading – Limited access based on IPMI user privilege.
SEL Reading – Limited access based on IPMI user privilege.
KVM/Media Redirection – Limited access based on IPMI user privilege. Only available
when the RMM3 is present.
